The Perth County Courthouse is a heritage landmark in the heart of Stratford, Ontario, completed in 1885. Its imposing limestone facade and soaring clock tower exemplify Romanesque Revival style, making it a focal point of the city centre. Visitors can admire the building's intricate stonework, arched windows, and the surrounding manicured grounds. The courthouse remains an active judicial facility, so public access is limited to exterior viewing and occasional guided tours. It stands as a proud symbol of local history and civic pride.
